cpus: stop vm in suspended runstate
Currently, a vm in the suspended state is not completely stopped. The VCPUs have been paused, but the cpu clock still runs, and runstate notifiers for the transition to stopped have not been called. This causes problems for live migration. Stale cpu timers_state is saved to the migration stream, causing time errors in the guest when it wakes from suspend, and state that would have been modified by runstate notifiers is wrong. Modify vm_stop to completely stop the vm if the current state is suspended, transition to RUN_STATE_PAUSED, and remember that the machine was suspended. Modify vm_start to restore the suspended state. This affects all callers of vm_stop and vm_start, notably, the qapi stop and cont commands: old behavior: RUN_STATE_SUSPENDED --> stop --> RUN_STATE_SUSPENDED new behavior: RUN_STATE_SUSPENDED --> stop --> RUN_STATE_PAUSED RUN_STATE_PAUSED --> cont --> RUN_STATE_SUSPENDED For example: (qemu) info status VM status: paused (suspended) (qemu) stop (qemu) info status VM status: paused (qemu) system_wakeup Error: Unable to wake up: guest is not in suspended state (qemu) cont (qemu) info status VM status: paused (suspended) (qemu) system_wakeup (qemu) info status VM status: running Suggested-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve Sistare <steven.sistare@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1704312341-66640-3-git-send-email-steven.sistare@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>
